The classic 90s thriller, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, is making a comeback with a remake in the works. This cult favorite has a devoted fan base, but the news of a remake has sparked mixed reactions among viewers.
Released in 1992, the original film introduced us to the unforgettable character of Peyton, played by Rebecca De Mornay. Peyton's husband, a doctor, committed suicide after being caught sexually assaulting a pregnant patient, Claire. Tragically, she also lost her own baby and sought revenge by becoming the nanny for Claire's family. The star-studded cast also included Ghostbusters' Ernie Hudson, Julianne Moore, Matt McCoy, and Madeline Zima.
According to Deadline, the remake will be targeting a new audience, with Maika Monroe taking on the role of the creepy nanny and Michelle Garza Cervera as the director. Maika, fresh off her performance in Longlegs, is set to deliver a chilling portrayal of Peyton, while the role of the matriarch is still up for grabs.
However, it's unclear whether the remake will follow the original plot and when it will be released. This has caused some film fans to express their disappointment, criticizing Hollywood for relying on remakes instead of creating original content. On Reddit, user Thievesthick shared, "Had me at Maika, lost me at remake," while Willdance4cheese_ joked, "At this point I wouldn't be shocked if a Titanic remake is made."
But not everyone shares this sentiment, as some are excited to see a modern take on the classic thriller. User Boiler_1985 praised Maika's talent and expressed their anticipation for the remake, while Mama_meta hopes the remake will do justice to the original. Even user ExpertAverage1911 couldn't resist sharing their love for the movie and their belief that Maika is the perfect choice for the role of Peyton.
Although it has been over three decades since its release, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle still resonates with audiences today. Rebecca's performance as the vengeful widow Peyton, who will stop at nothing to get back at her husband's accuser, is still praised by fans. As a nanny, she manipulates her way into the family, gaining their trust and flirting with Claire's husband to achieve her goal.
The thriller received a 66% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, slightly higher than the 61% audience rating. But despite the mixed reviews, it has become a cult classic and is still considered a great, dark, and chilling movie. Many viewers find it disturbing, especially for new parents, and praise Rebecca for owning every moment she's on screen.
Now, it's up to Maika to step into Rebecca's shoes and deliver a compelling performance as Peyton in the remake. Fans are eager to see her take on this iconic role and how the new version will compare to the original. Whether you're excited or skeptical about the remake, one thing is for sure: The Hand That Rocks The Cradle may be a movie from the 90s, but its impact is still felt today.
